Stock intake Y-Pipe Question
With all the problems that people have been having with the MAF I decided on leaving the stock air box until a SC or Turbo is manufactured. I’m interested in installing a WSP y-pipe, my question is, will I see an increase with the stock intake? I know that an after market intake & y-pipe with a catback will provide the best results, but will I see an improvement with the stock intake and after market y-pipe?
